Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation [TNSTC] — Boarding point

I have booked SETC bus to go from Madurai to Hosur dated on 11th October 2020 10.00 pm bus (Tuticorin to Hosur route). Normally there is 2 boarding points (MGR bus station & Aarapalayam) in Madurai for SETC buses which are going via Salem. So I planned to board in Aarapalayam bus station. But the conductor didn't agree and ask me to come MGR station on time. He didn't listen me. As I didn't have sufficient time I have gone by auto from Aarapalayam to MGR station will full tension and spent Rs.200/- for Auto. Finally I caught the bus in god grace.

Just I want to know Aarapalayam boarding point is active for SETC buses which are going via Salem route.
